MEASUREMENT
2010
The “RG-65″ is a Radio Controlled monohull development class, where all is allowed
except what is specifically prohibited by these rules of measurement.
MEASUREMENT RULES
1 GENERAL
1.1 Purpose of the measurement.
It is intention of these Rules to give ample freedom to design and build R/C sailing
racing models whose length will be of 65/+- 0,5 cm, with an rig height of up to 110 cm
and a maximum sail area of 2250 cm2.
The Class “RG-65″ is a Development Class, therefore everything is permitted except
what specifically it is not prohibited in these Rules.
Measuring Units.
All dimensions will be measured in centimeters, with an accuracy of 1 (one) decimal
(that is equivalent measuring in millimeters), and the final result of calculations of sur-
face will be rounded to the nearest cm2.
Maximums and minimums are absolute values, without tolerance.
Graphic description.
Appendices 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are inseparable part of these Rules and describe them
graphically.
2 ADMINISTRATION
In accordance with the Standards of the RG65-ICA.
3 HULL
3.1 General
The “RG-65″ will be a monohull.
3.2 Hull In each section of hull, there will be no point of underwater body below 0.3 cm
another point of the same section located closer to the centerline axis of the hull.
On the bow and from the deck, there will be a fender protecting, with a length of 0.5
+/- 0.1 cm by 0.3 cm of width at least, of elastomeric material (flexible gum, elastic
foam, etc). (see appendice 5)
C = Cord of the segment of arc f = Arrow of the segment of arc 6.2 Checking the di-
mensions.
Each sail will have permanent marks indicating the extremes and special points of
the divisions used for its surface calculation.
Dimensions are measured and /or verified edge to edge on the cloth.
The minimum tension will be applied to the sails as necessary to eliminate wrinkles
along the dimension verified.
When checking declared dimensions, a tolerance of 0.5 cm will be accepted in total
measurement (clew point to tack point to head point), and 0.2 cm in partial meas-
urements (bases, heights, arrows of subdivisions).
I n case of finding any differences, and within the tolerances described above, the
surface should be recalculated using the actual values obtained. The total area of the
rig shall not exceed 2250 cm2.
Sail Number:
Consist of the last two digits of either the allocated boat number or owner’s personal
number.
There should be space allowed in front of the sail numbers to add the prefix 'I' when
required.
The Mainsail: The sail number is located in the middle third of the mainsail, starboard
above, port side below, with numbers clearly visible in contrasting colour, in Arial font,
height not less than 8 cm., Made with a stroke not less than 0.8 cm. wide.
The Foresail: The sail number is located in the lower half of the sail, starboard above,
port below, with numbers clearly visible in contrasting colour, in Arial font, height not
less than 8 cm., made with a stroke not less than 0.8 cm. wide.
Sail area:
The measured area of each sail will be indelibly written in the tack of the sail.
7 REMOTE CONTROL EQUIPMENT.
7.1 General.
Radio systems with 2 (two) control functions shall be used.
One function will act only on the rudder, and the other will act only on the rig.
During the races of the day, one will use only the declared rigs, one keel (with its bal-
last) and one rudder.
7.2 Replacements.
No component of the boat nor its equipment, except the batteries of the equipment of
radio, shall be replaced during the races of the day, except if the element to be re-
placed is broken or lost during the event and that the ODD considers that this break-
age or loss is really fortuitous and accidental.
There is no restriction about replacement of RC equipment batteries during the races
the sheer line.
